Iím using 5/3/1 for my main lifts. I like it because you can auto regulate. On a 5+ day you can do the minimum 5 reps or you can rep as many as you can with the prescribed weight. It gives me rep goals each session and steady progress. Iíve done other programs in the past, but I always come back to 5/3/1 because of its simplicity.

I pick a body part and have a plan to attack it...lately I have been watching some of CT fletchers things to come up with crazy sets or lift combos. I lift because I want to live longer and it makes me feel when I put in good work in the gym. Its almost like I earned the right to sit on my ass and have a beer after a great gym session. Maybe that's why I lift 6 days a week.

I've done a lot of different training styles over the years with different purposes in mind or sometimes just out of ignorance. Right now I probably would best describe my training style as "lost alone in the woods after dark".
